Global fandom platform "b.stage" today (4th) announced the opening of the official fan community for EPIK HIGH, a leading South Korean hip-hop group. This community will be operated based on bemyfriends' global infrastructure and EPIK HIGH's proven content creation capabilities, providing comprehensive support to enable EPIK HIGH to communicate closely with fans worldwide.
Debuting in 2003, EPIK HIGH has consistently exerted musical influence with numerous hit songs, including "Fly," "Umbrella," and more recently, "Love Love Love," which has seen a resurgence. Their annual year-end solo concerts consistently sell out, with the recent "2025 EPIK HIGH Concert" at Seoul's KSPO DOME selling out all four performances instantly, proving their strong ticket power. Beyond music, in the content realm, they continue to expand their self-produced content lineup through their YouTube channel with approximately 1.7 million subscribers, featuring self-produced web variety show "EPIKASE" (over 1 million views per episode) and the recently launched English podcast "Hey Tablo."
With the opening of the b.stage fan community, EPIK HIGH will further expand its contact points with global fans. Notably, for the first time in their 23-year career, they will introduce "POP Live," a real-time fan communication feature, and fully launch regular live streams conducted directly by the members. Details for their first fan meeting in Korea will also be released simultaneously with the community's opening.
Furthermore, two types of products will be offered: "Stage Pass" membership, which provides priority booking benefits for concert tickets, and "Stream Pass," a viewing pass for POP Live. The fan community will provide a space for fans to freely stay and interact, and will also operate participatory features where fan-proposed opinions, gathered through surveys on fan meeting content, will be reflected in actual concert planning.
EPIK HIGH leader Tablo commented, "We wanted to create a space where we could connect more frequently and closely with High Skool (their fandom)." He added, "We hope it becomes a space where not only our music but also the content we create can naturally connect, allowing us to participate and enjoy together."
A b.stage representative stated, "We feel it is very meaningful to work with EPIK HIGH, who have been loved across generations." They continued, "We will actively support the expansion of global fandom contact points by building a fan experience structure that organically combines membership, content, and commerce around the fan community."
Meanwhile, b.stage is currently a fandom platform with over 350 global client companies and more than 1,050 artists participating. Through collaboration with various IPs, it is promoting the expansion of the "Fandom Business 360 Model," which organically links fan communities, commerce, and content.
